Baseball Fan Throws Awkward First Pitch At Boston Red Sox Game

Back in May, Boston's Eduardo Rodriguez and St. Louis' Lance Lynn faced each other when the Red Sox and Cardinals squared off at Busch Stadium in the first of four games this year between the old World Series rivals. And there's also a reminder of the Yawkeys within the ballpark: the Morse Code running vertically on the American League spells out the initials of Thomas A. Yawkey and Jean R. Yawkey.

The Indians improved to a season-high five games in front of the second-place Minnesota Twins, who were idle.

YANKEES 5, METS 3 Aaron Judge launched a titanic home run, Didi Gregorius snapped a seventh-inning tie with a two-run double and the visiting Yankees beat the Mets for their third consecutive victory in the Subway Series.

The Angels, now on the road here in the east playing the Baltimore Orioles tomorrow (Friday) through Sunday, have won 11 of 15 games this month.

Sale hasn't beaten the Yankees in three starts this year, but he has dominated against them. "The season is, I'm not sure how many games we got, 40-something left, but they're really important".

On game days, the Red Sox close Yawkey Way to public access and sell concessions. It was thought that it could be a hamstring problem, but according to Chapman, "It's nothing to worry about". I'll take the Red Sox for the opener win.

Now, the rivalry is renewed. Nunez came over from the San Francisco Giants in a July trade.

"I was like, 'OK, here we go". Rodriguez has made six starts at Fenway this year, posting a 1-0 record and 3.31 ERA.

The change will no doubt spark controversy among Red Sox fans.

He was typically fine Wednesday night, allowing justone earned run in six innings before departing the Fenway Park mound with a 4-2 lead. Aaron Hicks is 7-for-19 (.368) and Chase Headley 7-for-23 (.304) with two homers.

The Red Sox used a triple-play and an eight-run fifth-inning to stomp the Cardinals on Tuesday.

The Yankees will bring CC Sabathia off the disabled list to pitch Saturday game but won't have Luis Severino in the Boston series.

RANGERS 12, TIGERS 6 Elvis Andrus had the go-ahead home run among his four RBI, Cole Hamels won again despite a shaky outing and Texas completed a three-game sweep of visiting Detroit.
